Just for anyone watchng this, I bought a Robinsoson Labs Webasto Controler with pass through last year, and its brilliant. I use the Wabasto Water heater to run 3 radators in my garage. All you need to do it press a button controler and the heater starts, the USB pass through works with the Websto software, I cant praise this guys products enough.
How does this work out with a VW T5 that has a Thermo Top C in as an auxiliary heater? Is it necessary to flash other firmware to be able to use it as a parking heater (i.e. without starting the engine to warm it up before I go out)? And do y'all ship to Slovakia?
The T5 is "locked" to the vehicle! its called "component protection" and to change one it would require VW Dealer to "code it to vehicle" They are made with can-bus not w-bus, and they "talk" to the HVACR system! There is no way to re-program them as the processor is a MASK-ROM, that means its coded and made in the factory and it cant be programmed! There is no programmer for it! even webasto dont have and cant reprogram it. a T5 is a T5. wrong board to do that to. find another type of webasto, only BMW (91452C)(sticker on under side of board) can be un-tied from BMW to make it analogue at this time! Even if you could "flash it" there is not the circuitry to start it from pin 1 like you would want SORRY
what you want is called telestart, it is an add on that would turn it into the parking heater you would want! they are expensive but available from VW. you could look for a secondhand telestart which would make it cheaper.
Yes new version coming soon with USB type C connector, The software is still USB 2.0 mind you so it will run with backwards compliance, that means there will be NO USB 3.1 speeds as the software can not sample that fast nor can the heater! Heater connection speed is only 115200 Baud which is only 11.520KBPS so well under 480MBPS of the USB 2.0 standard! Should be ready for late spring.
i development! every webasto uses diff temp offsets. and no you cant change temp set points, the temp is hard coded in the firmware and cant be changed.

@@robinsonlabs do we have a link to order ?
Where's the one with the display? More importantly, is there a way to change the temperature set points?

So yours are availible? I thing not shop is empty :-/
